Best areas in Peru:
Main Scene: Nightlife strip. Best concentration of venues. Easy to walk.
Alternatives: Local areas for experienced visitors.
Hope this helps.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

Quick question — how was the ATM situation?

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

I was there in January and prices were great value.
Spent about $111/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

Did you use the local sites or find girls at bars?

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $95/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.
